Watch out for wet snow!
In the Fatras and Low Tatras a low avalanche danger (1st degree) is declared above the forest zone. Up to 20 cm of new snow has fallen during the last snowfall period, which has become wet due to warming. Gradually, as it gets colder, it will harden and freeze. In several places the new snow has already melted completely. Avalanche release is only possible at the highest altitudes on very steep slopes with high additional loads. Occasionally, only small spontaneous wet avalanches are possible.
About 20 cm of snow has been added during the last snowfall period, but the warm weather has meant that the new snow has almost completely melted. Overall, the snow cover is below average.
